We have 30 million foreign nationals in this country without permission, with hundreds of thousands more arriving every year. The "asylum" process is a complete joke at this point, and has been abused to the point that it should probably be scrapped entirely and replaced with something else. Perhaps we can finance asylum processing in Mexico for Central Amercans - that will magically shrink ayslum claims 90%.

I would be more sympathetic to the concerns the author presents here if he was willing to even pretend to be concerned about illegal immigration and acknowledge the larger problem at hand which these imperfect solutions are attempting to grapple with. In the absence of that this reads to me like more of the endless neoliberal open borders propaganda we get a never-ending torrent of.

I'm unclear why ethnic profiling in this specific context is intrinsically a Bad Thing. Perhaps others could help me understand?
